The city of Brighton and Hove is one of England's most exciting
seaside destinations. Renowned for its cosmopolitan characters,
diverse (and sometimes dizzying) entertainment venues and
unsurpassed nightlife, Brits and tourists flock to this city every
chance they get, be it for a long weekend or a summer vacation.
Brighton and Hove's modern atmosphere is strongly contrasted by
some of its older Regency and Victorian architecture; the charming
village lanes are home to numerous cafés, antique and
jewellery stores while, not far away, the Palace Pier stretches out
over the lapping waves of the sea, the lights and music from its
funfair and amusement arcades luring vast, raucous crowds.
During the summer, the pebbled Brighton Beach (surprisingly
comfortable!) and its waterfront bars and clubs become a vibrant
'anything goes' zone, with locals and vacationers alike throwing
all caution to the wind and revelling in the laid-back, summery
atmosphere.
